Offshore floating nuclear power plant concept achieves unprecedented levels of safety and economics, enabling massive nuclear energy growth
Pay people to use less electricity at key moments when their energy is coming from the grid's most carbon-intensive power plants.
Imagine a normal wind turbine..except..it first converts mechanical energy into compressed air..stores it,then expands it to run a generator
Power generation is likely to continue to need fossil/biomass fuels for decades. HCCAS converts resulting CO2 to O2 AND makes food/biofuel.
If Banks are to big to FAIL, are Fossil Fuels Co. to BAD to BAIL? Let us adjust the Financial Markets instead, deflate the Carbon Bubble.
Use condenser & plant cooling water to run a heat engine like those that run a ocean thermal energy conversion OTEC rankine cycle engine
There is absence of pneumatics used for electricity generation. Our system displayed at http://designdeskinc.com/Electric_Automobile.html
I invented an efficient Multiplying Mechanical device. Modifying Nicklos Tesla's Quantum Energy Generator, making it Sustainable.
I propose to mobilize communities using social campaigns that emphasize accountability, feedback, and infrastructure .
Thermal energy & kinetic energy conversion of the Gulfstream to lower Co2 GHG emissions anywhere between 300ppm/350 ppm in 20 years.
The Intergovermental Marine Bioenergy with Carbon Sequestration (IMBECS) Protocol Addresses Multiple GHG Issues via Carbon Negative Fuels.
Asphalt is very HOT during daytime hours when the sun is out. Transfer that heat energy into mechanical energy then into electrical energy.
GHG emissions are in the form of CO2 resulting from fossil fuel combustion, energy policies reduce fossil fuel use will reduce GHG emission.
Multiply prizes for breakthrough technologies by betting against them.
Oracle 2013 America's Cup boat was powered by a wingsail. I propose land based wingsails covered with flexible solar panels.
Let’s ease off the grid—and the gas pump—using textbook-sized lithium battery packs with smart sensing, IOT and collaboration capabilities.
Make public their risk assessments on the impacts from climate change. Cite science .
If your car has a magnet under it and it passes over another magnet you get energy, simply put. There's many creative ways to implement this
Solar ten times cheaper than oil, also cheaper than methane gas, cheaper than coal.
Developing modular, small, chimney-free biowaste power plants for electricity/heat/cold, based on an unique, patented gas-cleaning method.
Install large turbines above stacks of fossil fuel plants to rotate for power prodution using the velocity of exit gases & heat energy
Use stack gas temperature to run a Rankine Heat Engine to produce electrical power and reduce GHG's.
Use exhaust heat from internal combustion engine exhaust system to run a closed cycle Rankine Heat engine to make electrical power.
Use heat from solar cells to make electricity making the solar cell produce more watts per square foot.
Everything you see in here today has been created with fossil fuels. Yet the greatest form of energy goes Over Looked. It is Kinetic Energy.
Nature can provide the means to help heal itself and cause man to become more compatible with it by intelligent actions.
Wind turbines on mobile "islands" can travel to wherever the wind blows and won't be an eyesore 24/7.
use current technology to rapidly reduce use of fossil fuels.We have viable means to reduce GHG from power plants now; lets use it.
Generate electricity from stopping vehicles at traffic lights and stop signs
Lightning generates a great amount of heat and therefore pressure as it passes throught the atmosphere. We propose to capture this energy.
Real-time big mobility data (location, keywords, ...) can be used to predict short-term demand for energy, greatly improving efficiency.
Massive windfarms are built off each coast, shares are sold to power companies, credits given to retiring comparative coal production.
Design Desk Inc. (www.designdeskinc.com) has designed systems that can replace fossil fuels for transportation and Utility power production.
